thought that won't leave me alone: L/ucifer, during the Eden Era, trying to claim that angels just. don't sneeze. like at all.
so L/ilith challenges him to not sneeze while she induces him- which he fails at of course. he hides behind his wings when he sneezes and then tries to claim that he didn't actually sneeze at all but like. L/ilith isn't believing that shdlfkjsdlfkds
and to add insult to injury. she's using one of L/ucifer's own feathers to induce him.
Blame this post. This is probably the most confusing thing I’ve ever made but I learned two things from it: Ahsoka shouldn’t wear green and Etho shouldn’t wear light gray.
I’d love an Oromë pov fic of seeing Tyelkormo Turkafinwë as a child and instantly recognizing one who could, should, will grow up to be one of his finest hunters, and watching over him through adolescence, welcoming him into the forest and then into the Hunt, maybe a little ritual hunter/hunted sex if that’s your thing…the teaching of animal languages, the gift of Huan…watching nearly helpless from ever-more-afar as he falls with his father and brothers, as he proves that Beleriand under Morgoth’s influence is a terrible place to have a well-honed sense of predator and prey…and one day, finally, many ages hence, welcoming him home again…
And the whole thing is draped like heavy furs in metaphors of spotting prey and stalking, lying in wait, trapping, chasing, capture and even bloody fight and feast. Because Oromë is the Vala of the Hunt, and how could his point of view be otherwise? Tyelkormo is, will be, a great predator, but all creatures are prey compared to the might of the Hunter himself… But while the language is entirely predatory, and there is an edge of It Is A Grand and Terrible Thing, To Be Beloved of a God, the intent is never “predatory” as we might define word today. Oromë is the Vala of the Hunt; he could no more disrespect the prey than he could the predator (perhaps that’s where Celegorm went wrong in Beleriand). Hunting with intent to love vs hunting with intent to kill, and the overlap. Hunting with intent to consume vs hunting with intent to be worshipped, and the overlap.
Also something something untamable wildness but also natural order; something something the nature of Valar in ruling vs embodying their domains, and how those who worship/follow/serve/love them fit into that. Something something a person’s nature (not nurture, just nature) and everything goes wrong when you deviate from that into too much competition and cruelty—or maybe something something competition and cruelty, too, are natural (both broadly and person-specifically), but if you want to spend time with people whose natures are inclined towards things like pretty gemstones and diplomacy (and you do want that, they’re still your family), you have to learn how to tamp down the more violent wildness for at least the duration of a dinner party, much as the Vala of the Hunt must tamp himself down at least a little to spend time with even the fiercest and finest of his young hunters.
is there anything worse than trying to talk about art with people with closed minds. "i don't like this" "oh? why's that?" "it's just weird. i don't like it." fine then never look at or listen to anything again. since you are so insistent on not appreciating it
Me reading a cool new novel: hah wow this is cool it has a neat premise and a promising plot line let’s see our protagonist level up and learn how to use his new power in interesting and cool ways—
*MC meets a beautiful powerful girl and defeats her
*MC meets a beautiful powerful girl and impresses her
*MC meets a beautiful powerful girl and rescues her
*MC meets a beautiful powerful girl and defeats her PT 2
I don't wanna fight exporting a half done picture so here's a picture of my tablet I took with my phone (very scuffed lol, I know)
Long post 🦆
Alright, I do not like moping for long time when physical ailment strikes, so today I:
went and got a brace to keep my thumb still when I'm not using it
looked up a couple extra stretches for my wrist
set a timer on everything I did to be no longer than an hour
finally applied that "drawing from the shoulder" thing my professors try to hammer in
And, as of right now, I feel much better than I did 24 hours ago :D it's definitely still hurting a little, but I don't think I'm gonna have to take more than the recommended amount of ibuprofen and drown my hand in ice just to go to sleep now haha. I'm still very mad this even happened >:( buut freaking out about it last night made me extra proactive about it today, so all is well (relatively)
I was able to work on that project today, I'm very excited to show it off so here's a progress picture :3. I'm only just now realizing I made the left eyebrow/hand shorter than the right lol. Ran out of time for the feathers on the coat, but I think it's in a good spot right now. I only had the face drawn when I picked it back up today, so I made a decent amount of progress. I can't make any clean lines right now (see above), so this is really still just a draft. Hopefully I'll get it done by Monday night!
Last thing; I learned that clip studio can actually record time lapses for you, and doing it this way didn't freak out my computer, so voila (flashing lights cw, I flashbang myself a lot by accidentally removing the background):
It took me so long to draw out the top lol (I made his face really fluffy, and idk yet if I'm gonna keep that change or not)
I think, because they both can be so expressive, I love when one of them is just watching the other one do their thing nearby, with amusement or a tender look on their face.
(As far as love languages go, I think I would slot them in as both being high on “Quality Time,” aka, attention. Magolor also favors “Acts of Service,” as RtDL demonstrates. Marx enjoys being on the receiving end of any “Physical Touch” on account of not being able to give it very well, thanks to his claws.)
Speaking of touch, naps! They're a pair that I definitely see just having the best naps together. When they're awake, they're inevitably planning something or getting into trouble, but when they're laying there snoozing, all content in each other's presence?? :hearts:
They can hold so much sadness that I love when they just get to be happy! (...And then the next day, they wake up still wanting to be megalomaniacal little tricksters.)
...I don't know if this counts as fluff, but I love when they goof on each other too, like a pair of dorks. Not full on prank-video style pranks (can't stand those, personally) just teasing. Because I like to think they understand each other's sense of humor!
So I got a bit silly with it and decided to paint my nails green to match S-tan, and it actually slays really hard like it legitimately suits my skin tone perfectly? Winner.
An extroverted personality, Shea has made a name for herself in her local community, remembering little facts and details about her neighbors and friends. She will often invite others over for meals, especially since her child, Dot, moved out. Although she can be embarrassing at times, she strives to bring a little bit of joy to those around her.
being the first person arle comes to when she returns from a mission (you know past any reports she has to give) and getting to be the one to take care of her now that she's all exhausted...
